World Women's Rankings

Lisbon provides most significant action of the week

As the world quietly awaits this coming weekend's World XC meet in Amman, Jordan, a handful of dedicated road runners duked things out on the streets of Lisbon this past Sunday. Most significantly, Kara Goucher won the race, earning 8 points and 2 big spots in the top-10 in doing so. And down at the bottom of this week's list, Alice Timbilili returned to action in grand style, placing second in Lisbon and earning 40 spots on the rankings in the meantime.
